‘The Spirit of Goodwill’ event slated Saturday in Spring Hill

SPRING HILL — Spring Hill will be the site of the first “The Spirit of Goodwill” — a giving and receiving event scheduled from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday at the Spring Hill Fresh facility located at 2524 Depot Street.

The event is presented by local community advocate Spring Hill Fresh and is designed to encourage the community to bring food for Christmas baskets.

The Well Outreach, a local food pantry, will be collecting to help serve local Spring Hill and Thompson’s Station area families in need. It will also serve as a new toy/gift collection point for local children who have been identified by the schools needing help for Christmas gifts and whose names and needs have been submitted for sponsorship through the Spring Hill Police Department’s “Giving Tree’ program.

The event will feature family fun provided through the generosity of local businesses for all those who come to donate and give. Activities will include Magic Wayne’s Christmas Magic Show, live Christmas caroling, bounce houses, free hot cocoa, popcorn, Christmas candy, Buffalo Wild Wings giving out samples, cotton candy and more.

In addition, there are even more family fun activities to help usher in the holiday spirit such as Santa Claus visiting for children’s storytime from 10 a.m.-noon. Fresh cut Christmas trees from Riverbend Nurseries will be available for purchase at a discount. The Spring Hill Police Department will provide free fingerprint and kid identification cards.

Admission and parking are free.
